Tuesday, December 9, 2008

I am back in the hospital for another go. We're trying an antibiotic that I am have in the past been very allergic to in inhaled form. We are trying it intravenously and so far I have been fine. I'm having my second dosed infused as I type. It's very toxic to the renal system so we are monitoring my creatinine very closely. Please keep fingers crossed that my kidneys don't fail.

I will be here until around the 24th. I will be discharged for my birthday (the 25th), and then the 26th J. and I are flying to Dublin, Ireland for a much needed, almost two-week excursion. I know my health is hardly in suitable shape for travel but we have decided sooner than later (when I am too sick for such a thing) is better.

It's cold and I don't mind being bundled inside. Though I don't celebrate Christmas I am looking forward to seeing family for the holidays. I'm also looking forward to kissing Piper in the middle of an ice skating rink ASAP.
